Jonathan Cineus. It's never feasible for one person to go around doing biopics for so many different people. What that does is, people would start comparing which person they gave more justice to and it takes away the success from one of them. I would say a person can do a total of two biopics max. But, it would have to be at least 4 or 5 years apart from the first one. That's the same reason a lot of great actors who has had great sitcoms don't do well when they try doing another sitcom. The audience starts to compare the two. If the first one is obviously better than the second, then the second will not succeed. Yes, some people have pulled it off but, the vast majority does not succeed. Jaleel White who played Steve Urkel failed, Fran who played the Nanny only did 2 seasons. Her second sitcom could have done better if they would have focused a little more attention to Ticha Campbell. Just because a show is built around a certain individual, does not mean you have to focus on that person especially if the ratings are falling. The Fonz from Happy days was only supposed to have played in only one episode. The audience fell in love with his character and the producers kept him on the show and put a lot of focus. Happy days was meant to be built around Ron Howard but they gave the Fonz equal attention if not more. They tried moving him out of Happy days to perform in a new sitcom but, they bought his ass back because both sitcoms were having low ratings. Jaleel white was only supposed to play in a few episodes on Family Matters but he kept the ratings high so they made him a permanent cast and gave him a little more attention. Tachina Arnold is very funny and talented and could carry a show way better than Fran. Why they didn't make the adjustment was probably because of Fran's ego and she was one of the producers. It could have been because, they lacked the vision to see what I saw. They were giving her less lines and less attention. Personally if I was Tichina Arnold I would have left the show. Never put a black person or a Hispanic on a sitcom just to be a token. I am not trying to be prejudice but blacks and Hispanic are funnier than whites than whites because, of the way we were grew up. We grew up cracking jokes on each other; either with our friends or our siblings. Yo mama jokes has been around since the 50's. Sometimes our parents would join in as well. We have a habit of mocking our dads if he's not home and our moms would join in as well. There was this one time one of my brothers was mocking the way our dad dances. It was so accurate and funny it made my mom fell to the ground in laughter. That was the one time she ever told our dad and she asked my mom asked my brother to show my dad. Our dad wasn't to keen about people cracking jokes on him, but even him had a hard time holding in his laughter. Just for the record, In my opinion, Henry Winkler the guy who played the Fonz is probably the greatest actor in the world. When he is in character as the Fonz, it's a flawless flawless acting performance I have ever seen. There was this one episode when he got in a guy's face to fight him, his facial expression in that scene was the best I have ever see. That was the day I started paying attention to his acting.I was even more impressed when I saw him in person, his character was no where close to his real persona. As a matter of fact, he was like a nerdy dude.

Excally I see that now 👀

Me too

I just Google Kelly Rowland and Gladus knight because they looked alike and it bought me to this video, I didn't know she played her lol wow

so true

She sounds great on midnight train to georgia

YES SHE IS

THANK YOU!!!! Should've lip synced... But she has the looks and mannerisms on target.

I wonder what is taking so long

Absolutely!!!!

Anthony McCallum oh yeah that’s facts

yesssssssssssss

She or Anika Noni Rose should’ve portrayed her on Broadway.

Mark Hills just like her

She does

Probably why she’s playing her ... she needs to play Donna summers

@@DomsdreamX2 Now THAT'S what I want to see. That whole dance style and look is all her!

Yes she does look like her

RIGHT GLADYS KNIGHT SAID THE SAME THING HERSELF

Kelly is from atlanta soo

When does it come out

They look just alike🙄😲, that could be her mom or grandmother

Beyonce is hardworking so if she is willing she would do more interviews. Just maybe she is not interest or sees it as important. She could have hired a personal coach to aid with interviews and public speaking (if she has a problem). Who had or is helping with Kelly's music career? Just saying.

Thats the reason why she dont do interviews anymore i feel because of that comment right there lol

what the fuck does beyonce have to do with this video

Aside from Beyoncé, Kelly is just well spoken and articulates well. Why does she need to help Beyoncé on that? She’s her own person no need to compare. That is one thing I do like about Kelly though, she’s good at interviews. She’s got a good personality and it shows.

Kelly doesn’t need to work with Beyoncé on anything. Y’all always find a way to mention Beyoncé on a kelly video then accuse interviewers of always bringing up bey when they interview kelly. Beyoncé is fine the way she is.

I agree. She looks just like her and her voice is much more similar to Donna Summer's than to Gladys.

I AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT ALSO

Justin Moore: Only in looks...

No she is Donna Summer Twin. But great choice for Gladys ❤

No, "Diana"

@@margarethailey6482 No Mary Wilson look at pictures of Mary Wilson when she was young.
